Workshop on Active Protection of Passive Radio Services October 2004 – Cagliari (Italy) Strato-mesospheric Water Vapour High concentration in troposphere. Enters stratosphere through TTL (cold trap): dry air in stratosphere. Relatively long-lived in stratosphere: distribution governed by global circulation. Seasonal variations due to variations of T tropopause : tape recorder effect. Chemical production in stratosphere: methane oxydation. Sinks in middle atmosphere: photodissociation, reaction with O( 1 D), OH. Radiative balance of climate system: most important greenhouse gas, indirect processes through cloud formation Middle atmospheric chemistry: source gas of HO x -family, controlling O 3 - destruction in upper stratosphere and mesosphere
